  • Title: Two-dimensional MRI at 1.5 and 0.5 T versus CT myelography in the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy.
    Author: Bartlett RJ, Hill CA, Devlin R, Gardiner ED.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1996 Feb; 38(2):142-7. PubMed ID: 8692425.
    Abstract:
    A prospective comparison was made of standard two-dimensional MRI sequences, at both high and midfield strength, with CT myelography in 23 patients with cervical spondylosis. MRI is adequate for assessment of cord compression, where high field strength is superior to midfield strength. MRI using 4-mm sections is inadequate for presurgical assessment of root compression. It remains to be proven whether thin-section white-CSF volume sequences or gadolinium-enhanced volume studies can replace CT myelography.
